Bulgaria: No consensus on Afghan Refugees in EU

There is no consensus whatsoever among the European Union countries, not even the majority in favor of accepting Afghan refugees, Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa said in a tweet on Sunday.

"The EU countries must themselves decide whether they want to have a new wave of migrants or not. Currently, it is not only that there is no consensus, but there is not even the qualified or at least the simple majority [at the Council of the EU] to do this," said the prime minister of Slovenia, which holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of this year.
